sup dudes.

damn best cat hanging with me. Training him to stand up for treats.



GASing over these beautiful looking Oxfuzz Univibe models



but cant be looking to buy 1, I am super wanting to play guitar with the board rigged up.

Standing cats and OX Vibe? Post full of win.

Anyone know much about Titan amps? There's a guy selling a 200watt model for $1200 in the bay area.
http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/msg/3927344528.html

The builder used to post all the time on the Harmony Central Amps Forum and may still under the username knucklefux I believe. Really really nice guy whose amps got a lot of positive reviews. Based on the SLO originally I think. I always wanted to try the 200 watter.

This. That seems to be the going price for them on the used market, so if for some reason you don't it, you could probably flip it pretty easily for the same money.

Clearly D learned the TOAN SAECRETS from mikes cat. Thus, the Ape Blaster.
WHY U HOLDING OUT D!

YES. Also glad to see D back here with us. Ancient Warlocks show with Valient Thorr means NC show in the near future, right? RIGHT?

And, as usual, super jelly of Whiskey and his ridiculous gear scores.

First show last night using the Kowloon Walled Bunny that I made a few weeks back. Holy Shit That thing sounded like Death in the greatest way possible. It has so much gain and ball-punchingness, but still gets so clear and allows you to hear everything. I was slamming it into my Rat into the RedBear and spent most of the showing hiding my boner behind my guitar.

Also, fuck yes to new tube Soldano pedals. I can't remember if someone mentioned this already, but I'm pretty sure the original GTO was like 300v plate, but that's what made the fucker noisy, which people didn't like. My guess is he's solved that...? Either way, you could stick it in a loop, right? So bypassing didn't result in nasty hiss?
Nick, I'm not gonna hassle you bout that Wizard pre you bought up with skip a few pages ago, because now you saying that incorrect plate voltage is why you won't do them has confused me...unless you would do a couple but don't want to be making a bucket load, I can understand.

Basically if its a properly done tube predal its a tube preamp, those are 1 in the same. But a tube pedal/preamp is going to be a costly thing, there is a power transformer ect ect so your looking at a $700+ one off item. That is not very attractive for customers.

[AxAxSxS]

Yeah I breifly looked at the verellen ones, BREIFLY becasue of the price. I could see it being usefull for a bassist who is doing the di thing, but I cant spend amp money on basically half an amp.

We have a show tonight, not feeling like it yet. Time to listen to Dopesmoker and get my shit together.

[new05002]

For bigger companies you can build a lot of them and the price cost to the builder drops so you could drop the price for consumers, not that people end of up doing that.

Mate...that sucks!

you on antibiotics? or is something harsher?

[AngryGoldfish]

Me neither, but I'm pretty sure Youtube sends you some incredibly miniscule royalties per thousand/million/whatever hit.

Yeah, it's usually a couple of bucks per thousand views. It's not worth it unless you're racking in 30K per video. The big YouTubers get more money per thousand views as well.

The Iron Pile 200 is fucking awesome, there's so much to this amp that I haven't even started fucking with yet and I'm super excited for it.

Klon video was damned funny.

Anyone in the market for the most beautiful EGC ever? Seafoam green Chessie with matching neck and headstock? $1900. How bout a DL4 with all mods from Drasp and an exp pedal? $300. Or just buy this Nash thinline tele because it's beautiful. Doom roomers can have it for $1500.



.

Awesome stuff. It makes me happy that you love the amp. Also, I want that Nash. Has it got Regal humbuckers in it?

i hate false alarms

HNAD!!

Yeah, I know of Titan amps. They're basically a cross between a Dual Rectifier and a Fryette Deliverance. In other words, an SLO100. There are plenty of high quality demos on YouTube and they're popular, or at least were back in the day, on Harmony Central. I was GAS'ing for one for a long time but I eventually decided against it. The builder was going for the tightness of a Fryette with the wetness of Mesa/Boogie. Again, an SLO. It's not a direct clone or a rip-off or anything like that. It's just similar because it's an awesome sound and many folks believe in it as a circuit and sound. $1200 is a good price. They're not expensive brand-new but they don't come up that regularly any more. They used to be on HC all the time.

Me too. I've been waiting for two years for Ken to build a vibe. I've tried his OXFUZZ GE and it's awesome. I want one.

See if you can go play it? Sounds like it would be cool.

I couldn't get that other one but I just picked this up on ebay



I feel dirty lol. I wont feel bad about hacking it up and modding the hell out of it though.

Sweet! Congrats, man!

I too am puzzled by 12 strings. How? Why? But you've got a cool sound like nobody else so you better stick with it

So what do D-Day and the Legendary Mark Arm have in common? MOTHERFUCKING FUCKASS SECURITY WOULDNT LET EITHER OF US IN TO SEE TAD. I could've killed.

Also you could get a secret announcement offa this photo if you look carefully. I'm pretty sure you heard it here first.

Fucking YES!! Bring dem Soldano pedals back!

[nightterrors]

You gonna get a Hiwatt?

Am I really THAT predictable?

well, I sold the OR120 for $1700 locally.

Bought a 76' DR201 for $1700 in Niagara Falls, NY (about 20 minutes or so from where I live) yesterday!
so stoked.
The guy who had it was the only owner... bought it in 76' in Germany while he was on vacation there and brought it to the states.
It has Mullards in it, brand new, was taken to the tech very recently. Beautiful amp! couldn't be more excited!

[new05002]

$1700 is a screaming price on those.

[AngryGoldfish]

i've been a bit busy lately, which accounts for my low post count...but work is slowing down again, which means i can get my priorities back in order...and i need to read the last 10 pages to catch up!

in other news, we have a new lead guitarist join the band last week...so we are back to being a 4 piece.

the best thing is, he emailed me before rehearsals asking if it was ok if he brought his own amp and pedals rather than using the Orange amps at the rehearsal space...because he wanted us to hear his tone. So he rolls up with an old flying V that sounding massive and a heavily modded JCM800 which he has had for 15 years...in that time he's modded the gain stage and its set up with KT88's...this amp sounding fuckin great! all he had as far as dirt pedals go was boss OD pedal just to push the amp a little!

we started jamming on a couple of our songs and instantly it just sounded right.

I'm so stocked with this now...if we can rehearse every week, we should be able to get a demo done in a few months and then start hitting the gig scene!

Good luck with the new band mate.

Nick, I'm not gonna hassle you bout that Wizard pre you bought up with skip a few pages ago, because now you saying that incorrect plate voltage is why you won't do them has confused me...unless you would do a couple but don't want to be making a bucket load, I can understand.

I've always wanted to build tube pedals, and it is possible at reasonable prices. You just have to make sacrifices and do it right. Kingsley, Fryette, Faustone, Mesa/Boogie, EHX, Soldano, Budda, Hughes&Kettner all have made tube pedals in varying degrees that I believe all use either wall warts, and thus supply full voltages to the tubes, or use charge pumps like the Fryette stuff. Some of them are expensive and others not. I am of the opinion, and Nick and I have spoken about this before, that much of the money required to build a proper tube will be dedicated to custom made parts such as toroidal transformers, huge enclosures, etc., and also R&D because you need to source all these weird parts and have them made in bulk. It's worth it in the end but it's not like starting a company based around Big Muff and Fuzz Faces. It's a huge undertaking. I would love to do it myself. I feel there is a huge hole in the market for it.

That's fucking awesome. Great pic too.

welcome to the 660V plate voltage club.

[nightterrors]

$1700 is a screaming price on those.

Oh yeah, there was no way I wasn't doing it.

The sound I want, GREAT price, great dude, absolutely no problems and I got quite a bit for the OR120. It had to be done!

The guy really wanted me to have it, he was around my age when he bought in 1976.

Couldn't be more stoked. After I tried my buddies DR103 on bass, I wanted to go Hiwatt. So clear and crisp, you can hear the most subtle differences in pedals through it.

Finally apart of the 200 W club, and doesn't it feel good

That's fucking awesome. Great pic too.

Thanks brother!

[new05002]

Is it the 6 EL34 model or the 4 Kt88 model? I assume you got the 6 EL34 model
